He was'nt being funny just truthful at times. Its the act of trying to catch anything to stop a blank, especially when the bigger fish are not being co-operative. Its mainly used in competition when size does matter and (from what I have been told) 20cm is a counter for some species. The fish are checked and then released. Check the article by petekd on this subject.
